In the present paper, we study a Friedmann-Lema\^{ i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) quantum cosmology model with positively curved spatial sections. The matter content of the model is given by a radiation fluid, a Chaplygin gas, and an ad hoc potential. After writing the Hamiltonian of the model, we notice that the effective potential ($V_{ eff}$) depends on three parameters: $A$ and $B$ associated with the Chaplygin gas, and $\sigma$ associated with the ad hoc potential. Depending on the values of these parameters $V_{ eff}$ becomes a double barrier potential. We quantize the model and obtain the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. We solve that equation using the WKB approximation and compute the corresponding probability ($TP_{ WKB}$) that the wavefunction of the universe tunnels through the double barrier potential $V_{ eff}$. We study how $TP_{ WKB}$ behaves as a function of the parameters $A$, $B$, $\sigma$ and the radiation energy $E$. We notice a significant occurrence of resonances in $TP_{ WKB}$ when varying it as a function of $E$ or $\sigma$. It is a very interesting phenomenon because it may cause the universe to be born with selected values of $E$ or $\sigma$.
